Zhou Boyan Is Unconscious (1)

***

Yue Huaide glared at her. "What did you do to my daughter!"

Yue Yan clasped her hands behind her back and gestured desperately at her parents. Wen Hongyu tugged at her husband.

The landlady did not expect this little girl to be so scheming. She was crying even before she hit her. The male tenant also glared at the landlady angrily. If the wife wasn't holding her husband back, he would probably have pounced on her and beaten her up.

She heard that this man was a laborer, so she took two steps back and said fiercely, "Hmph, I won't bicker with you. Your entire family will move out tonight!"

She knew all the landlords and landladies in this area. This family could forget about renting a house here.

Yue Yan chased after her relentlessly. "We can move out, but you have to refund us the remaining rent!"

The landlady looked at the neighbors who were looking at them. Everyone was looking at her, clearly wanting to help the Yue Family.

She gritted her teeth and took out a few crumpled notes. "It's just a few cents. Here you go!"

Yue Yan didn't care if the landlady's expression was ugly or not. She just wanted the money back.

People at this time were not as shameless as they would be in the future. The landlady would not be able to raise her head if the Yue Family went to her workplace or her children's workplace to make trouble. She could only return the money obediently.

The landlady cursed and left, saying that she had to see the house return to its original state tomorrow.

Yue Yan wiped the remaining tears off her face and turned to bow to thank her neighbors.

"Thank you, Uncles and Aunties, for speaking up for us. We will definitely thank you personally after we find a new place to settle down."

These neighbors did not expect her to be so sensible. The more they looked at Yue Yan, the more they liked her.

"It's just that we still have to pack up and move. We can't invite you into our house for a drink."

The neighbor hurriedly refused. "No need, no need. Hurry up and find a place to stay. There are many mosquitoes at night in summer."

Yue Yan forced a smile. "My grandmother's house is nearby. We'll go to her house for the time being and find a suitable house later."

A neighbor leaned close to her and whispered, "If you want to find a house, don't look around here. Auntie Wang is a petty person. She might badmouth your family and increase your rent."

Auntie Wang was the landlady.

"Yes, yes. Thank you, Auntie. These words won't reach Auntie Wang's ears." After all, she was Auntie Wang's neighbor. Yue Yan's guarantee could reassure her.

"Good, good. What a sensible child."

After the neighbors returned home, Wen Hongyu hurriedly pulled Yue Yan aside. "What happened to you just now? Why were you crying?"

Yue Yan frowned. "I pinched myself too hard. It hurts."

She stuck out her arm. There was a red mark on it that had yet to fade.

"Silly child, why did you pinch yourself!" Wen Hongyu felt helpless and heartbroken.

Yue Yan hugged her mother's arm. "I can't cry out. I called out the neighbors to help. I don't believe she can be so thick-skinned as to cheat us of our money."

Wen Hongyu rubbed Yue Yan's red spot with heartache.

Yue Yan chuckled. "Mom, you said that the house won't run away. Now, our family has been chased out of our place!"

"You talk too much!" Wen Hongyu pushed her daughter away gently and called Yue Huaide home to pack his things.

Yue Huaide stood by the side and listened to the mother and daughter's conversation. He gave Yue Yan a thumbs up.

They suddenly needed to move house. Fortunately, Yue Yan's family did not have much furniture at home. The bed belonged to the landlady, but the table was bought by them. There were also pots, pans, bowls, and other things. Yue Huaide's tricycle would definitely not be able to fit all of them.

However, it was getting late. Yue Yan knew that Wen Hongyu wanted to save money. "Mom, it's probably going to rain heavily in such a hot and stuffy weather. Let's finish moving as soon as possible. Otherwise, the landlady might throw all our things away tomorrow."

Hence, Yue Huaide went to look for his peers who rode tricycles to help them move. Yue Yan and Wen Hongyu packed up their things at home.

Yue Huaide found three tricycles. Together with his own tricycle, it took them a while to move everything.

Yue Yan glanced at the Zhou Family opposite. Zhou Boyan didn't even come out after such a huge commotion. There was a puppy barking in the courtyard. He must have gone to pick up his grandfather.

She thought that she would only become neighbors with Brother Xiaofei again in two days. She did not expect her family to move over so soon.

Yue Huaide's peers basically knew each other. They would gather together and chat whenever there was no business.

Today, Yue Huaide's good friends teased him when he asked them to help them move house, "I haven't seen you out for a few days. You've already moved to such a big house?"

Yue Huaide chuckled. "My mother-in-law borrowed money to rent this house. How can our family have the money to buy such a big house?"

Only then did his peers feel relieved.

He was not good at lying, but Wen Hongyu was worried that her family would be targeted by people with ill intentions, so she asked Yue Huaide to tell the public that it was a rented house and that the money was borrowed.

It was already six o'clock when they moved everything here. The sky was getting darker and darker, a precursor to a storm.

Everything at home was piled up in the courtyard. Yue Yan's family quickly moved the things into the house without stopping.

The thunder soon followed. Afraid that the rain would suddenly fall, Yue Yan ran into the house with the blanket.

After finally piling everything from the courtyard into the living room, the storm came down together with hailstones.

The family was panting in the living room. Everyone looked at each other and smiled. They had finally made it.

Yue Yan carried the bedding up to the second floor to make the bed. Although the furniture in this house was left behind by the previous owners, they had taken away the bedding. Yue Yan could not use other people's bedding either.

Her bedding was not new, nor did it look good, but she was simply very satisfied with it.

She had a family, a house, and her own bedroom.
